The mountain breeze caressed his face, and Yan Liang felt a chill.
He reined in his horse on the road, wiped a drop of sweat from his forehead, and glanced back. On the remote path, his horsemen were still moving forward non-stop.
Except for the sound of horses neighing and hoofbeats, no one spoke a word. The four thousand people were as quiet as a ghost army from the underworld.
After making a plan with Xu Shu last night, Yan Liang led the Shenxing Cavalry to set off overnight, walking non-stop on the Biyang Trail towards Xudu.
Yan Liang raised his eyes and looked east. Not far ahead was Dahu Mountain. After passing this mountain, he entered Yuzhou. His cavalry only had to turn north and it would take at most two days to reach the Xudu City.
Yan Liang is so familiar with this road that he can distinguish it clearly even with his eyes closed.
"Where is Hu Che'er?" Yan Liang asked loudly.
Hu Che'er, who was not far away, rode his horse and walked a few steps quickly, rushed forward, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, what are your orders?"
"Ahead is Dahu Mountain. There are many bandits here. If you lead three hundred riders to explore the road ahead, you don't have to be ambushed by bandits." Yan Liang pointed to the east with his horse whip.
"The general will receive his order at the end."
Hu Che'er drove his horse away, calling loudly all the way, and led a group of people away like the wind.
There are many mountains to the south of Xudu. After the Battle of Guandu, many of Cao's troops who had been defeated were unwilling to surrender to Yuan Shao and chose to flee into the mountains and become bandits.
These bandits are different from the ordinary Yellow Turban Army. They are all elite Cao soldiers who have undergone formal training. Naturally, Yan Liang cannot be careless.
Hu Che'er went ahead for about several miles, and Yan Liang continued to urge the army forward.
We couldn't walk for half an hour. We were already at the foot of Dahu Mountain ahead.
When Yan Liang was riding his horse, he suddenly saw a mounted scout named Juechen approaching. The scout rushed to the general, cupped his hands and shouted, "My lord, General Hu is fighting with a group of bandits at the foot of the mountain ahead."
Sure enough, there were thieves.
Yan Liang snorted coldly, raised his whip and said: "Send the order to General Hu and ask him to wipe out the bandits as soon as possible. Don't delay the army's journey."
But the knight panicked and said: "Let me tell you, my lord, that group of thieves is very powerful and is currently besieging General Hu. I'm afraid General Hu will soon be unable to hold on."
Hearing this, Yan Liang couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes.
A freak like Hu Che'er is leading his elite Shenxing cavalry soldiers who have fought many battles. But they are besieged by a group of thieves. What's going on?
Yan Liang then thought again, maybe there were some old generals of Cao Cao among those bandits. If so, it was possible that Hu Che'er could not defeat him.
Thinking of this, Yan Liang became very curious, so he led 500 cavalrymen to ride ahead and asked the whole group to stay where they were to observe the situation.
After a while, Yan Liang climbed over a hillside and leaped to the top of the hillside. He finally saw clearly the situation at the foot of the mountain.
But seeing more than a thousand bandits, they surrounded Hu Che'er's troops in an orderly formation. The bandits cleverly took advantage of the narrow terrain and the long guns in their hands, forcing Hu Che'er to use his power to stop the machine. Three hundred
The cavalry was caught in the dilemma of close hand-to-hand combat.
Being able to push Hu Che'er to the point where it was difficult to deal with them. This group of thieves are indeed no ordinary bandits.
Yan Liang saw that although Hu Che'er was trapped, his life was not in danger for the time being, so he was not in a hurry to send troops to rescue the siege. He only stationed his horse on the hillside and searched around, hoping to see who the leader of the bandits was.
In the field of vision, in the woods in the northeast corner, there were faint flags of various colors waving from time to time, directing the bandits to arrange their troops. I think the leader of the bandits was there, but I couldn't see his true face clearly.
The leader of the thief did not show his face, and Yan Liang watched the battle calmly.
In the blink of an eye, it had been a fierce battle for a long time.
Hu Che'er is a fierce general under Yan Liang, with extraordinary martial arts and infinite strength. The knights under him are also elite men. Even if they are in trouble, they can still take on the challenge calmly.
The thieves fought fiercely for a long time but failed to win, but at the cost of more than a hundred lives.
At this time, the flags in the woods suddenly changed, and the besieging bandits suddenly and proactively made way for a gap.
When Hu Che'er saw that the siege had been opened, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He hurriedly mounted his horse and hit the gap with his sword, trying to break out of the siege.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the woods, but a roaring sound was heard suddenly, and more than thirty horsemen and thieves ran from the woods, rushing toward Hu Che'er with a roar and a swooping momentum.
The leader of the thief finally showed up.
But what surprised Yan Liang was that the thief in front was actually a 17 or 18-year-old female general.
I saw the female general wearing silver armor, riding a white horse, with a red cloak like fire, holding a square-shaped halberd, and rushed away like a red and white rainbow, her momentum was very dazzling.
When Hu Che'er was charging to kill him, he looked up and saw a young girl coming to kill him. He felt contempt in his heart, shouted violently, picked up his sword and slashed at the female general.
The two horses meet and arrive in an instant.
There was a hunting cry in the air, and the female general shot past Hu Che'er like a stream of light.
With one move, Hu Che'er felt an extremely strong force crash into his body, which made his internal organs almost shatter. He couldn't help but be surprised by how powerful this little girl's strength was.
When Fang Zi turned his horse around, Hu Che'er suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. When he lowered his head and glanced down, he was shocked to see that his shoulder had been cut open at some point.
When he suddenly raised his head, he saw that a few steps away, the female general was looking at him with an arrogant look. The halberd she held upside down had its blade drawn out, and drops of blood were dripping from it.
Hu Che'er was immediately horrified. He never expected that this little girl was not only powerful but also exquisite in her halberd skills. Before she could even see the opponent's moves clearly, her shoulder was already injured.
At the top of the slope, Yan Liangqing clearly saw the scene of their fight.
Yan Liang's martial arts skills were far superior to Hu Che'er's. He saw the moves of the female general clearly and couldn't help but marvel in his heart. The halberd technique used by the female general was actually the most exquisite halberd technique he had ever seen.
With Yan Liang's martial arts, it is not difficult to injure Hu Che'er in one move. There are many people in the world who can do this.
But when this happened to a young female general, Yan Liang couldn't help but be surprised.
Yan Liang even felt that the girl seemed to be capable of killing Hu Che'er with one move just now. Before she made the killing move, she was just playing tricks on Hu Che'er.
"This girl's martial arts skills are even better than that of Ma Yunlu. I don't know where she came from..."
When Yan Liang was getting curious, the female general gave a loud shout, clapped her horse, raised her halberd, and charged at Hu Che'er again.
Yan Liang could tell at a glance that this time the female general had stopped teasing and wanted to kill Hu Che'er.
At this point, how could Yan Liang sit idly by and ignore him? He immediately grabbed the horse's belly, dragged his knife and rode down the hillside.
Black mysterious armor, black war horse. When one person rides on it, it shoots out like black lightning.
In an instant, Yan Liang had already crashed into the battle group.
The long knife swept out with great force. Before the three thieves facing him could react, three heads had already flown into the air.
Yan Liangwei was like a killing god, cutting through the waves and crashing into the battle group.
The besieged knights of the Yan Army couldn't help but feel boosted in morale when they saw their lord approaching.
But the group of thieves who had the upper hand were frightened by the sudden and unstoppable enemy general. In shock, they retreated to both sides as if they were in a wave.
Yan Liang's sword has two bows on the left and right, and all thieves who are unable to retreat will be killed by his blade.
In the blood mist that filled the sky, Yan Liang shot out of the thorn and rushed towards the female general.
When the female general looked back, Yan Liang was already approaching, with the long knife in his hand wielding the power of Mount Tai, whistling and slashing into the chest.
Before the blade even reached, the female general felt a suffocating force coming towards her.
The female general's beautiful eyebrows narrowed. She knew that the coming general was extraordinary in martial arts, but she showed no fear at all. She snorted coldly, swung out her halberd, and headed towards Yan Liang to attack him.
There was a loud buzz and sparks flying.
When the wrong horse passed by, Yan Liang was slightly shaken.
As for the female general with a proud face, her slim body was shaken violently, and her bare hand holding the halberd was slightly numb.
A look of surprise suddenly flashed across the female general's pretty face, as if she couldn't believe how powerful and powerful the enemy general was.
She hurriedly turned her horse around, waiting for Yan Liang's second blow.
However, Yan Liang was not in a hurry to attack, but shouted to Hu Che'er: "Leave this woman to my general. You must lead your troops to wipe out these thieves."
When Yan Liang was shouting, the more than 500 cavalrymen on the hillside had also rushed over. With the internal and external coordination, the bandits were panicked and in disarray.
Hu Che'er couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw his lord coming, so he ordered his men to attack and kill those nasty bandits.
After the order was given, Yan Liang turned his eyes to the female general and said coldly: "I, Yan Liang, will not kill unknown people with my sword. Little girl, please tell me your name so that I can know who I am killing."
"You are Yan Liang!"
The female general had obviously heard of Yan Liang's reputation, and she couldn't help but feel a bit of surprise on her pretty and aloof face.
Yan Liang hugged the sword and sneered: "Since you know it's me, why don't you dismount your horse and surrender? I will probably spare your life because you are a female."
The female general was furious when she heard this and shouted: "Thieves should not be so rampant. If you want to know my aunt's name, you must first defeat the halberd in my hand!"
Amidst the fierce shouting, she already rode her horse, danced her halberd, and charged towards Yan Liang angrily.
"You are such a bad-tempered little girl, I will play a few tricks with you."
Yan Liang was very excited and faced the attack with his sword.
Since his previous fight with Ma Chao, Yan Liang had not fought against the masters of the world for a long time, and the sword in his hand had already become unbearably lonely.
After just a fight, Yan Liang had already concluded that although this female general's martial arts skills were inferior to his own, they were actually somewhat better than Gan Ning and his ilk.
With such a rare opponent, Yan Liang should be able to kill him happily.
Two streams of black and red light collided, and the two of them fought together in the chaos.
Yan Liang's cavalry soldiers ruthlessly killed the bandits. They were so fierce for a while, but faced the attack of the world's elite, they soon fell into disintegration.
The iron cavalry was in full swing, killing the people at the foot of Dahu Mountain until rivers of blood flowed out. The bandits had no choice but to flee to the mountains and forests, trying to escape the iron hoofs.
The female general didn't care about the collapse or life and death of her men, and just attacked Yan Liang one after another, like she was desperate for her life.
The strength and exquisiteness of each halberd are considered to be the best in the world, but unfortunately, compared with Yan Liang, they are still a few points behind.
It is this subtle gap that determines who is superior.
Even though Yan Liang knew that his martial arts skills were superior to this female general, it was not easy to defeat her within a few hundred moves.
Yan Liang calmly faced the battle while thinking about the origin of this female general.
"What she is practicing is Fang Tian's painted halberd. Every move of this halberd is extremely domineering and has an aura of contempt for the world. Could it be that she is..."
An idea suddenly flashed into Yan Liang's mind. (To be continued. Piaotian. Registered members of literature recommend this work.
